FAQs & more About Us & What We Do
Val has been working in South Cumbria since qualifying in Naturopathic Osteopathy in 1999. She uses a mainly structural approach, but also includes some ‘cranial’ techniques that are suitable for everyone but especially older people and young children. She has experience of children with Cerebral Palsy Special Needs, and finds a combined approach of gentle cranial and muscle work very effectively. Now retired like her husband Jol

The overall aim of osteopathic treatment is to release areas of restriction, improve mobility and blood flow and to correct and imbalances.
Osteopaths draw from a wide range of techniques. These include massage-like techniques to relax and stretch the muscles and contracted areas of the body; rhythmic movements of the joints to improve their function; manipulation to release restricted joints; gentle relaxing techniques including cranial osteopathy which is especially suitable for children and babies.
You will also be given advice on how to prevent your problem recurring and you may be shown exercises to follow. Dietary advise and stress management techniques can also be prescribed if appropriate.
